Assuming we're talking about medical abortions performed by a doctor in a safe environment, no, not really.

Yes.

I've also heard of this thing called "being on topic." You should try it.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

Yes.

Then you have heard more than I have, cause I have never heard anything from Buddhists that can compare to the constant religious intolerance of human ethic atheists.
Atheism has to be stopped, even if that means the end of free speech and free thought.
Atheists claim freedom of religion has to include freedom from religion, but as freedom from religion cannot exist unless humans cease to exist the obvious conclusion is that atheists wants to eradicate the human race.

abortion should not be legal and here's why. #1 whenever a person is pregnant you have a living human being inside you and that person deserves a chance of life. #2 because you have a live baby inside you whenever you kill that baby you are committing a murder and murdering alone is illegal. #3 there are many ways out besides abortion for instance: adoption centers, give it to someone you know will want it,etc.

Yes, they do have a right to choose what to do with their body. And they chose to get pregnant. (Unless it's rape, in which case I support it fully)
I think it should be legal for at least the first few months. If you let it get to the point where you have a bonafied baby inside of you, you've made your choice.
